Utilizing the media to communicate messages to the public can be a double edge sword, so it requires precise message formation, skillful technique and solid relationships with reporters and editors. As a result, the public gets the facts straight and opinions are more favorable.

Copper State Consulting Group deals regularly with the Arizona capitol press corps, large and rural media markets, television and radio personalities and trade/membership publications. We help develop communication plans and identify target audiences to determine which reporters to target at the right time.

Depending on strategy, we'll identify allies and individual citizens willing to write letters-to-the-editor, schedule meetings with newspaper editors, get on talk radio programs or seek the nightly news. Or if the intent is to keep a low profile, we work to keep clients under the radar screen and off the front page.

And when crisis hits, we deal tactfully with reporters and stay on message to mitigate damage and turn negatives into positives. We specialize in handling controversial and sensitive issues.

We also help make inroads and develop relationships with the local communities through grant programs, public events, volunteer activities and nonprofit board participation and publicize good efforts with the media to improve and enhance public image.

Our objective is not simply to create publicity - We want to positively impact how our clients are viewed in the community and to build their public reputation, awareness and positive identity.
